Part of the Marquess of Downshire’s Clifton Castle and Jervaulx estates, this well-known eighteenth-century Wensleydale inn is, apparently, a favourite watering hole of King Charles III. “Well worth a drive” for its high-quality cooking – the kitchen team come into their own during the game season when “they demonstrate their mastery of cooking grouse, in the traditional and best way” – and it’s “dog friendly too”.
